I think fail2ban is a red herring in this discussion. It has multiple backends one of which is called "systemd" and that happens to read the journal. The default backend is auto. fail2ban rightfully suggests system-log-daemon to prevent an installed daemon from being automatically removed. Other than that, it's default is to just work with journald. Helmut
